The most convenient and economical means for washing cutlery in a dishwasher are capsules of the All-in-1 type. There are a lot of similar miracle tablets produced by different companies on store shelves.

Among the assortment you can find Fairy tablets for the dishwasher, which contain about 10 active substances that can cope with any contamination. As part of our article, we will consider their features, as well as get acquainted with the assortment of the brand.

Fairy Tools Overview

The Fairy brand has long established itself as a successful manufacturer of bit chemicals for washing dishes. It was developed by Fairy in Brussels as part of the American corporation Procter & Gamble. Economical consumption, European quality and mountains of clean dishes made Fairy capsules the best seller among all such detergents in the Russian market.

Please note that capsules and tablets for dishwashers are identical products. The original name for this detergent is dishwasher capsules. The confusion with the translation is due to the fact that funds of this type are called tablets in Russia, but are in the form of multifunctional capsules.

Fairy capsule packaging
Fairy capsules, thanks to active concentrated cleaning elements, will even wash out old fat, remove burned residues and write. Remember that the dishes should be thoroughly rinsed after being treated with such active chemicals.

Any Fairy tablets, according to the manufacturer, can easily cope with grease and dirt, clean silver tableware and glassware. One capsule consists of concentrated powder and gel, as well as a powerful rinse aid.

Note that in the composition of one Fairy capsule, in addition to the main components, four to ten active components are incorporated. For example, phosphates and special special additives protect the internal parts of the dishwasher from scale and corrosion, and active substances ensure that there are no white spots or streaks on clean plates.

Each capsule is wrapped in a film, which itself gradually dissolves in water. Please note that the tablet should only be taken with dry hands to prevent moisture from entering the water-soluble coating.

The composition of the Fairy
The tablets already contain salt and rinse aid, but some users say that additional rinse aid and salt will only improve the result.

This miracle tool works simply: all components simultaneously affect dirty dishes. Fairy pills effectively wash off grease and dried stains not only in hot but also in cold water. Before loading dirty dishes, be sure to remove food debris. To familiarize yourself with the rules for loading dishes into the machine, please go to this link.

It is not recommended to use them for cleaning dishes from antique or Chinese porcelain and for washing crystal.

If you use capsules, you should connect the “3 in 1” program (the name of the programs in different brands of dishwashers may vary). This is done so that more water is released to dissolve the capsule. If your dishwasher is capable of analyzing tablets (these are the latest generation brands), then you can choose any program.

In addition, Faerie pressed detergents will take care of the details of the dishwasher, because the capsules have special salt. About the purpose of salt for the dishwasher we wrote in this stuff.

Special cleaning salt cleans the filter
Powerful Fairy capsules are great not only for dirty dishes, but also help to keep the key details of the dishwasher clean. For example, a filter that no longer needs to be cleaned after each wash

Each dishwasher has a separate tablet compartment. If the capsule is too large, then place it in the cutlery box. The tablet should not be placed in the compartment to the main container, as the tablet may dissolve unevenly, and as a result, stains or dirty areas will remain on the plates.

The video clearly introduces the benefits and the principle of action of the encapsulated preparation for Fairy PMM:

Review of tablets (capsules) for PMM

The instructions for using the tablets indicate that they must be inserted in a special compartment of the dishwasher. If the capsule does not fit in the compartment, then it can be put in a box for forks and spoons.

Fairy Platinum capsules contain special gel and powder, which prevent the formation of scale, white lime deposits on dishes. They have a new formula. Now, in addition to washing dishes, they also take care of the cleanliness of the dishwasher itself, and can also prevent corrosion of the internal parts of the device.

Do you use another dishwashing detergent that does not care about the cleanliness of the dishwasher? In this case, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the best cleaning agents.

Fairy Platinum capsules in zip packaging
Fairy Platinum Capsules are one of the most powerful in the line. They can do professional dishwashing, cleaning from dried fat without additional soaking and caring for the dishwasher

With these pills, your glass and steel appliances will shine. Fairy Platinum tablets, like other pressed dishwasher detergents, have a soluble coating and begin to actively affect dirt even in cool water.

The capsules contain the following substances:

  • about 30% of active phosphates;
  • no more than 15% of surfactants;
  • soft food bleach;
  • phosphonates;
  • enzymes that actively remove fats;
  • chemical flavors;
  • artificial perfumes.

Fairy tablets should be stored in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of no more than 35 degrees, avoiding direct contact with the pack with direct sunlight. In a damp room or when moisture gets in the bag, tablets may stick together or the protective film may be damaged. And this will cause the leakage of the gel or the soaking of the powder. The quality of cleaning dishes depends on the proper storage of capsules.

Waterproof zip packaging for tablets
Fairy Capsules are in a special waterproof bag equipped with a zip fastener. Make sure that moisture does not get inside the bag - it can ruin the product

Please note that Fairy tablets for dishwashers must not be replaced with liquid detergent of the same brand. And all because the liquid gel forms too much foam, which can completely damage the dishwasher.

In recent years, Fairy tablets have been released without phosphates. But if there are small children in the family, an allergy or any disease is found, then keep in mind that Fairy capsules contain anionic surfactants.

The abbreviation for surfactants stands for surfactants. Exceeding the norm of anionic surfactants adversely affects the human body. To avoid negative consequences, it is recommended to rinse the dishes thoroughly with running water.

Customer Reviews for Fairy Capsules

Before buying a compressed detergent, consider not only the manufacturer's promises, but also real customer reviews.

Positive pills feedback

Some housewives rarely use Fairy capsules, and as heavy artillery to clean heavily soiled, greasy or dried dishes (baking sheets, pans, etc.). Fairy Jar All in 1 detergent buyers say they perfectly clean burnt baking sheets and wash stains of dried fat without soaking them first.

Many users note that the Fairy All In 1 and Fairy Platinum tablets, along with dishes, wash the walls of the dishwasher and the drain net.

Using any Fairy capsule, you can not be afraid that the filter will clog up with fat. And this means that there is no need to clean it every 3-4 washings, as required care rules for the dishwasher. The walls of the car are also crystal clear.

Loading tablets into a dishwasher cuvette
All Fairy tablets are large in size, so they should be carefully placed in the compartment. If this is not done, then, as noted by users, the capsule will become stuck and the dishes will be washed without detergent.

Cons of pressed media

Of the minuses, a high price is noted, but, as you know, you have to pay for quality. In addition, manufacturers have proven that Fairy capsules have a nice price / quality ratio. This is reflected in the fact that you can perfectly wash dirty dishes in cold water for 30-45 minutes.

If the load on the dishes is minimal (for example, only half of the maximum number of devices), then there is a risk of getting a raid on each plate at the exit. To avoid this, connect an additional rinse or rinse individually each item individually. This is especially true for glasses and glassware.

The quality of the sink depends on the quantity of dishes
If you are laying a small amount of dishes, then immediately program and additional rinse. Because residues of detergent may leave streaks on clean dishes

For some, the undeniable disadvantage is the persistent smell of chemicals remaining on the devices after washing. When you open the machine after washing, the first to break out is a club of steam mixed with a persistent smell of detergent that does not disappear for a long time. An additional rinse can easily cope with the smell on the devices.

If the aroma remains, then it is worth rinsing thoroughly the washed dishes under running water. After washing, leave the dishwasher open for a while and, if possible, ventilate the room. Or try to buy capsules without flavors and fragrances.

Don't want to overpay for Fairy capsules? We recommend that you familiarize yourself with pills recipes do it yourself from improvised materials that can be found in almost any kitchen.

    Having purchased a dishwasher several years ago. The question immediately arose, why is it best to refuel it for work. I tried many tools, but opted for Fairy Platinum tablets. Perfectly clean even burnt utensils. But I use tablets and a dishwasher very rarely, because it comes out very expensive financially.

    • Svetlana

      Yes, these pills and in addition to the high price have a bunch of minuses. They stink very much with chemistry, leave soap stains on dishes, and they do not wash perfectly. I regret that I bought a well-known brand and acquired them.

      • I do not agree with you. Yes, the price is decent and there is a strong smell (disappears after rinsing), but the capsules are washed very well. And this is exactly what matters in detergent. In any case, speaking of Fairy All in 1 Platinum, I use these capsules.

        Svetlana, pay attention to the instructions for the dishwasher, in which the manufacturer indicates when it is better to use the powder, and when the tablets. Most PMM manufacturers recommend the use of tablets under three conditions:

        - full loading of the dishwasher;
        - washing at high temperatures;
        - washing time - at least 90 minutes.

        Tableted detergents at low temperatures and at a quick wash do not have time to completely dissolve, so plaque forms on the dishes, a chemical smell appears.

      • Elena

        Apparently you wash the dishes in a short program, for the price it is certainly better to buy on stocks, the smell does not remain if you wash at a higher temperature and a longer cycle. While in my ranking - they are the best.

  2. Elena

    I have a Whirpool dishwasher, I experimentally found out that the dishes are best washed with Fairy Platinum, slightly worse with Somat Gold, and worse with Finish Platinum, the rest are slightly lower than average, my dishes are always 65 degrees in time 2 hours 40 minutes. The dishes after washing do not smell anything at all, I tried to use the 6th senth program, not bad, but returned to intensive washing, maybe this is my subjective opinion, but it seemed to me that the dishes were washed worse. I launch every day with a full load. Maybe someone my review will help determine the choice of funds for mmm.
